Pi$$ed off C8 buyer

[Billohio]

I have seen enough Ram trucks rotting out that I would think twice on one. If you find a bad one, you can see inside the bed over the wheel house. They put something that looked like rope, maybe caulking, that I assume was supposed to lay along the outside corner of the wheel house. That piece didnt seem to get to the bottom or something and it looks like it just held moisture until it rotted out. I saw one that the bottom of the tail gate was gone last week. It is disgusting that with the technology we have there are still corrosion problems. I have had a new chevy diesel every year since 2010 and the first was 2008. I have had zero problems with all of them.

I looked into buying a ram which is a great truck, BUT if Im spending 60 grand on a truck I dont want it to rust out in 4 to 5 years. I bought a 2020 ford f150 and cant be any happier.

Yep, I know, they all rust away prematurely. I don't need a 2500 to get the diesel and I see Chev has just started putting a new inline 6 diesel in the 1500. Already reading about "glitches" with them, so I will wait a few years for the population testing ground to expose all the problems, and hope GM fixes them all.
